Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a class of given graphs. A graph $G$ is said to be $\mathcal{H}$-free if $G$ contains no induced copies of $H$ for any $H \in \mathcal{H}$. In this article, we characterize all pairs $\{R,S\}$ of graphs such that every…

It is proved that there are triangle-free intersection graphs of line segments in the plane with arbitrarily small ratio between the maximum size of an independent set and the total number of vertices.

A nut graph is a simple graph of order 2 or more for which the adjacency matrix has a single zero eigenvalue such that all non-zero kernel eigenvectors have no zero entry (i.e. are full). It is shown by construction that every finite group…

We characterize all connected graphs with second distance eigenvalue less than $-0.5858$.

Let G = (V, E) be a finite simple connected graph. We say a graph G realizes a code of the type 0^s_1 1^t_1 0^s_2 1^t_2 ... 0^s_k1^t_k if and only if G can obtained from the code by some rule. Some classes of graphs such as threshold and…

We improve recent results relating graph eigenvalues to other graph parameters like girth, domination number, and minimum degree.

Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices and $\lambda_n(G)$ be the least eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix of $G$. In this paper, we give sharp bounds on the least eigenvalue of graphs without given pathes or cycles and determine the extremal…

We classify the connected graphs with precisely three distinct eigenvalues and second largest eigenvalue at most 1.

Among all simple nonbipartite 2-connected graphs and among all nonbipartite $\theta$-graphs, the minimum least $Q$-eigenvalues are completely determined, respectively.

Mock threshold graphs are a simple generalization of threshold graphs that, like threshold graphs, are perfect graphs. Our main theorem is a characterization of mock threshold graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs. Other theorems…

Dom de Caen posed the question whether connected graphs with three distinct eigenvalues have at most three distinct valencies. We do not answer this question, but instead construct connected graphs with four and five distinct eigenvalues…

A hollow matrix described by a graph $G$ is a real symmetric matrix having all diagonal entries equal to zero and with the off-diagonal entries governed by the adjacencies in $G$. For a given graph $G$, the determination of all possible…

Given a family $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs, a graph is \emph{$\mathcal{F}$-subgraph-free} if it has no subgraph isomorphic to a member of $\mathcal{F}$. We present a fixed-parameter linear-time algorithm that decides whether a planar graph can…

We introduce a natural generalization of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph model in which random instances of a fixed motif are added independently. The binomial random motif graph $G(H,n,p)$ is the random (multi)graph obtained by adding…

Let $A_n$ be the anti-regular graph of order $n.$ It was conjectured that among all threshold graphs on $n$ vertices, $A_n$ has the smallest positive eigenvalue and the largest eigenvalue less than $-1.$ Recently, in \cite{Cesar2} was given…

Let $\lambda_2$ be the second largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a connected graph. In 2023, Li and Sun \cite{LiSun1} determined all the connected $\{K_{2,3}, K_4\}$-minor free graphs whose second largest eigenvalue $\lambda_2\le…

We give lower bounds for the first non-zero Steklov eigenvalue on connected graphs. These bounds depend on the extrinsic diameter of the boundary and not on the diameter of the graph. We obtain a lower bound which is sharp when the cardinal…

This paper investigates the asymptotic nature of graph spectra when some edges of a graph are subdivided sufficiently many times. In the special case where all edges of a graph are subdivided, we find the exact limits of the $k$-th largest…

The $A_{\alpha}$-matrix of a graph $G$ is the convex linear combination of the adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees $D(G)$, i.e., $A_{\alpha}(G) = \alpha D(G) + (1 - \alpha)A(G)$, where $0\leq\alpha \leq1$. The…

All graphs considered are simple and undirected. The Inverse Eigenvalue Problem of a Graph $G$ (IEP-G) aims to find all possible spectra for matrices whose $(i,j)-$entry, for $i\neq j$, is nonzero precisely when $i$ is adjacent to $j$. A…
